Butterscotch Pudding
"This recipe is an adoptee from Mean Chef, who got it from Fine Cooking Magazine. Despite the fact that butterscotch is not my favorite pudding-type, I have to say that this recipe is heavenly. It is really incredible. Granted, it looks like a lot of work, but it really didn't take too long to put together and it was well worth it. Enjoy!"

I am looking foran excuse to invite friends over again to make this . it is worth the time. There are two contributors, Mean chef and Lennie, whose recipes I always read and usually copy and try as soon as possible. I have not been disapointed yet, thank you...LuluB -
Absolutely sinful and delicious (like all the best things). More of a silky custard than a 'pudding' in my opinion. I used a vanilla pod, but that was the only change I made. Thank you for this recipe.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find.
When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here).
I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year.
